The F104A is designed for machining large
engines used in the earthmoving, mining,
oil and gas, power generation and marine
work boat industries up to the size of the
CAT 3516 and 399, Cummins QSK 78, MTU
4000 V16, Waukesha 7042,etc.

All F104A machines employ an entire array of
features which help maximize the productivity
capabilities of the machines. Quick tooling changeover
maximizes the versatility and flexibility of the
machine, allowing boring and surfacing in one setup.
All F100A Series machines have the capability
of Boring, Surfacing, Line Boring, and Universal
Machining. Traveling column and spindle
movements operated by precision ball screws and
AC servo motors. Optional Automatic cycle
software and production tooling allow complete
block banks to be machined without operator
attendance, once the job is set up and the "cycle
start" button is pressed, the operator is free to
"walk away" and do other work while the F100A completes a block bank or main line bore
unattended!

Rottler has combined our own in house CNC programming and machining experience with software and programming
experts to develop a new conversational programming system that is easy to learn and operate. The use of Windows
style icons and graphical displays makes programs easier to understand, the old fashioned abstract G&M code
programming has been replaced with easy to understand conversational icons and menus.
The use of Windows information allows easy handling - everyone knows about file saving and copying to external
laptops and desktop computers. Programs can be emailed worldwide via the Internet and transferred by simple USB
flash memory drives.

Rottler CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing) -
While the operator is developing a program on the machine, laptop or desktop, the software is calculating things like
tool paths in the background. The software is able to convert a drawing into a complex CNC program and run the
machine with very little operator involvement.

Connecting Rod FixtureRottler’s patented Connecting Rod Fixtures allow large connecting rods to be surfaced and bored on the F104A machines. The Rottler boring fixtures allow both big end and small end to be bored in one set up resulting in perfect parallelism between big end and small end. All the rods in a set can be accurately bored for equal center to center distance, a must for today’s high compression diesel engines. Special heavy duty fixtures available for boring very large, heavy connecting rods found in natural gas compressors and workboat marine engines are available.
